“…The azomethine ylides derived from deprotonation of iminium ions are CO 2 R-stabilized ylides A (Figure 2A) [22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30]. In recent years, our lab has reported a series of azomethine ylides A-based [3 + 2] cycloadditions for diverse heterocyclic scaffolds [31,32,33,34,35], including one-pot [3 + 2] and click reactions for triazolobenzodiazepines [32]. Compared to the reactions of stabilized ylides A, cycloadditions of nonstabilized ylides B are less explored (Figure 2B) [36,37,38,39,40,41,42].…”
